Sauron, the high-end home security startup for 'super premium' customers, plucks a new CEO out of Sonos | TechCrunch

Sauron is appearing on the scene as concerns rise about crime among the most wealthy.

The concept resonated in Bay Area circles, where crime had become a constant topic during and after the pandemic, despite San Francisco Police Department statistics showing property crime and homicide rates declining last year.

I appreciate the article at least sharing this fact early on.

Billionaires like Thiel are always weaponizing the symptoms & the feelz, & never want to address the real causes of crime, home invasions, & theft.

The causes are poverty, hunger, homelessness, bigotry, substance abuse, & desperation.

Billionaires! Pay your effing taxes, & you'd have fewer people trying to kill & steal!

Build a rehab. Build housing. Pay real wages.

That's what taxes could be used for; making everyone safer. Instead of these slipshod "security" frauds.

We need an alternative maximum tax rate of 100% of the income calculate by:

1. **Find the US GDP**: Approximately $26 trillion (or $26,000,000,000,000).

2. **Find the US Population**: Approximately 331 million people.

3. **Find the US Poverty Level for a Single Individual**: As of 2023, the federal poverty level for a single individual is $14,580.

Now, we can use the formula:
GDP / US population * US Poverty Level

1/2
